It’s pretty straightforward to get the sandbox site running locally so you can
play around with Oscar.

Warning

While installing Oscar is straightforward, some of Oscar’s dependencies
don’t support Windows and are tricky to be properly installed, and therefore
you might encounter some errors that prevent a successful installation.
